Documentation: Shortly after his brother William's death, Elsworth 
became a resident of New Castle Hospital in Farnhurst, New Castle De.  
The death certificate showed he was there 4 yrs & 4 months and he died 
from throat cancer. His previous or usual residence was listed as 
Wilmington. It also shows him as Married. The age at death was listed 
as 67 years. The undertaker's name appears to be George M. Fisher Inc, 
at 722 King Street, Wilm, De. The undertaker had an advertisement on 
page 61 of the 1930 Wilmington City Directory. It showed James F. Hearn 
as the Funeral Director/Embalmer.

A Delaware Certificate of Death #1549 dated June 7, 1930 is available 
at the state archives.

Burial Information was received showing the following:
Elsworth Holt
Buried: June 7, 1930
Riverview Cemetery
Section 06 (East side of Cemetery)
Lot 164
Postion 4.

This is a plot for 4 people; however, according to Riverview's records, 
there are no other remains buried with Elsworth Holt.  The 1900 Federal 
Census shows an Ellsworth Holt in Newport City, Rhoad Island born in 
Delaware, married to Jennie and with three sons Ellsworth Jr, Clarence 
R, and Harry H. No other information can be obtained on Elsworth Holt 
after 1909 in Rhoad Island. The 1910 Census only lists Jennie and the 
children. Elsworth's uncle Capt Richard Shaw was a ship Captain and 
married a girl from Providence, Rhode Island. I believe that Elsworth 
could have sail with him to Rhoad Island. All information obtained at 
the Delaware Public Archives, Hall of Records, Dover, DE. 19901., 
Birth, Marriage, Death records, Census records 1860 thru 1930,
